Long Island Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Attention: Medical Malpractice Victims

Long Island personal injury attorneys representing victims of medical malpractice in Nassau County & Suffolk County, as well as all five boroughs of New York City.

Though New Yorkers enjoy among the best medical care and treatment facilities available anywhere in the world, the industry is not without its faults. And when mistakes happen, patients suffer. Edelman, Krasin & Jaye are leading Long Island medical malpractice lawyers committed to those who have been harmed at the hands of negligent healthcare professionals.

We pursue all forms of medical malpractice including:

Where do you turn when no one seems to listen?

We understand your frustration. You’ve called doctors, hospitals, nurses and medical staff members to no avail. All you wanted was an explanation, an apology, or acknowledgement of fault. Yet, time and time again, doors are closed in your face and calls go unanswered, leaving you no alternative but to seek legal recourse.

No one can get answers faster than a medical malpractice attorney with Edelman, Krasin & Jaye. We will help you get to the bottom of your case to get the facts. By law, you are entitled to receive information regarding injuries suffered at the hands of negligent medical professionals. If others are found liable, you may be entitled to financial compensation to cover the cost of your medical bills, disability, lost wages, emotional pain and suffering, and more.

New York is no stranger to medical malpractice

You are not alone in your suffering, though it may feel that way at times. Did you know that medical malpractice awards in New York State totaled roughly $690 million in 2013? By comparison, the state with the second-highest medical malpractice payouts was Pennsylvania, which saw $357 million awarded in 2013. In addition to the awards paid out, the NY Daily News recently reported that New York City hospitals paid out an astounding $131 million in medical malpractice settlements in 2013. Let Edelman, Krasin & Jaye seek the justice your family deserves.

Recent verdicts for NY medical malpractice lawsuits

There have been many winning cases of medical malpractice in New York:

$62 million award – Stacey Galette received a large jury award when Winthrop University Hospital was found guilty of failing to detect a 5 mm hole in her colon following the removal of an ectopic pregnancy, which led to infection, a colostomy and the loss of both legs.

$25 million award – Jaelin Sence was released by New York Methodist Hospital doctors less than 48 hours after birth, without proper examination or follow-up, even though the mother suspected the infant had jaundice. A jury determined that medical staff negligence led to the boy’s brain damage.

$5.9 million award – The family of Manhattan cabbie Warren Jupiter won a lawsuit when a gastric leak went undetected for months because medical staff at the Manhattan VA hospital said the 550-pound man was “too fat” for routine CAT scan testing.

These are just a few of the successful cases that went to trial. Many more NY medical malpractice cases wind up settling outside of court to avoid lengthy high-profile litigation.
